Republicans have 206 publicly committed votes. We need 216 to defeat the bill. There were ten members of the Stupak group:

Stupak

Driehaus

Lipinski

Kaptur

Dahlkemper

Mollohan

Rahall

Donnelly

Costello

Berry

Obviously, if all of those held, that would be enough to defeat the bill, but the cryptic comment of Stupak that he had lost votes and ”at least six” will stand opposed is still puzzling. There are also still five uncommitted members who voted NO in November:

Baird

Tanner

Nye

Boucher

L. Davis

Okay, so if Stupak has at least 6, Nye just went No, so that's 7, and if 3 more just turn No we'll be at 216. Can get from Stupak's group of 4 undecideds or the remaining group of 4 undecideds. Only 3. C'mon Congressman, make history and Vote No!

Code Red has the count as 211 No, 212 Yes and 8 undecided but they had Nye as a Yes, so theirs is 212 No.

Prayers up!
